JEE Main

With a 76 percentile in JEE Mains, you'll likely fall within a rank of around 374,401, which opens doors to various private colleges and some GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes), potentially allowing you to pursue a B.Tech degree, though you might need to compromise on your preferred branch. 

Here's a breakdown to help you explore your options:

1. Understanding Your Rank and Percentile:

Expected Rank:

A 76 percentile in JEE Mains typically corresponds to a rank around 374,401. 

Government vs. Private:

With this rank, securing a seat in a top-tier NIT (National Institute of Technology) or IIIT (Indian Institute of Information Technology) might be challenging, but you have a good chance in private colleges and some GFTIs.

IPU CET (BTech) follows an NCERT-based syllabus covering Class 11 and 12 topics, whereas JEE Main includes NCERT concepts along with advanced topics. The question type in IPU CET is mostly conceptual and application-based, while JEE Main requires more analytical and problem-solving skills. In terms of difficulty level, IPU CET is considered moderate, whereas JEE Main is significantly more challenging. The competition level in IPU CET is also lower, as it is limited to admissions in GGSIPU-affiliated colleges, whereas JEE Main is a national-level exam with extremely high competition for NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs. Both exams follow a similar negative marking scheme, with -1 mark deducted for every wrong answer. Additionally, both exams are conducted in an online mode, with JEE Main being a computer-based test (CBT).
